The Simons Observatory: Commissioning of the Mid-Frequency Small Aperture Telescopes
Kathleen Harrington, Remington Gerras, Nicholas Galitzki +88
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Atacama Desert in Chile. The SO Small Aperture Tel…
The Simons Observatory: Science Goals and Forecasts for the Enhanced Large Aperture Telescope
The Simons Observatory Collaboration, M. Abitbol, I. Abril-Cabezas +419
We describe updated scientific goals for the wide-field, millimeter-wave survey that will be produced by the Simons Observatory (SO). Significant upgrades to the 6-meter SO Large A…
The Simons Observatory: Design, integration, and testing of the small aperture telescopes
Nicholas Galitzki, Tran Tsan, Jake Spisak +77
The Simons Observatory (SO) is a cosmic microwave background (CMB) survey experiment that includes small-aperture telescopes (SATs) observing from an altitude of 5,200 m in the Ata…
The Simons Observatory: Beam characterization for the Small Aperture Telescopes
Nadia Dachlythra, Adriaan J. Duivenvoorden, Jon E. Gudmundsson +27
We use time-domain simulations of Jupiter observations to test and develop a beam reconstruction pipeline for the Simons Observatory Small Aperture Telescopes. The method relies on…
